Plastheniker Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Hi, usually I have little interest in modeling modern cars unless I want a replica of one of my own (former) 1:1 cars. In 2003 I bought this Gallardo and kept it until 2008: The corresponding Fujimi kit was rather nice but I remember 3 shortcomings: The hexagonal plastic mesh of the numerous apertures of the original car was replicated by massive clear plastic parts with faint raised hexagonal lines. IMO in a kit that expensive (as far as I remember about 10 years ago I paid 60 € instead of 20 € for a ROG or Italeri kit) PE parts can be expected. Today PE aftermarket parts are available. Inserting the side windows was difficult because there was almost no contact between glass parts and body. Every time I bent the lower sides of the body outwards to join body and chassis these fragile joints broke. OOB stance and track width were unrealistic. Nevertheless compared with the pictures above the finished model looks rather convincing.
Samuel S Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 great build! I hope I could afford a lambo in the future as well! just out of curiosity, what car do you drive now? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCdl6FOkuSgEfJhKewctHqw - my modeling channel-
bbowser Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Another beauty from your bench! Very convincing replica.
Draggon Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 The stance on the model is much better, I like it!
FabbricaP Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Nice looking Lambo, looks like you got the track lined up pretty well.
Plastheniker Posted April 16, 2017 Author Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks for the response! great build! I hope I could afford a lambo in the future as well! just out of curiosity, what car do you drive now?
